    Posted by Kenyon Blower on September 9, 2008 at 8:54 pm

    I am building 2 new systems. Cost is not as much a factor as speed and reliability. I am looking at a 3.2Ghz quad core with 2mb memory. I was going to upgrade to 16gb (8 x 2gb) memory through Other World Computing. Apple memory is just stupid expensive. Is there an advantage to using the 4gb modules instead?

    I have 24tb Fibre Channel raid. Is there any reason to buy the quad channel 4gb Fibre channel cards vs the dual channel?

    One last thing, any reason to upgrade the graphics card over the standard?

    The last 2 systems I purchased, I had Pro-Max spec them out. This time I am doing it myself. These systems will be cutting network shows with an overnight deadline. They will also have a Kona 3 card. Outputing to D-5 and DVCPRO-HD

    Thanks
